55% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Shipping can be a complex business, and outdated shipping processes can leave companies struggling to operate efficiently. As eCommerce companies attempt to keep up with giants like Amazon, they need every edge they can find.
Shippo provides an order management platform that helps streamline the fulfilment process, allowing operations teams to manage orders, print labels and documentation, track packages, and notify customers. Importantly, it allows Shippo customers, which include UNTUCKit, Bombas, and Aesop, to be more competitive by comparing shipping rates among several carriers.
The company, which not long ago reached unicorn status following received series E funding, is investing into accelerating its mission of simplifying the eCommerce process for businesses through discounted shipping labels, delivering, what the company describes as, the best rates from top carriers.
